*Call for Proposals*

The organizers of the Symposium on Communicating Complex Information (SCCI)
invite proposals for the 2019 Symposium to be held in Shreveport-Bossier

behavior when we interact with complex information in different contexts.
The goal of the Symposium is to exchange ideas and share information on how
to address the communication, deign, and usability challenges associated
with using complex information.

n  Methods to better visualize complex information to support decision
making or better understanding by non-professionals.

n  Examinations of how user experience can address improving the
interactions within complex information spaces.

n  Methods required for testing and evaluating complex systems
(e.g., health care situations, resources allocated among many projects,
intelligence analysis of multiple sources of data, customer service working
across multiple technologies and/or cultures).

n  Methods of designing to maximize the user experience and enhance user
interaction within complex information.

n  Methods of designing to improve decision-making within complex
environments.
